Ted Nugent VS Sebastian Bach

[That 70s Guy]

Two of rock’s most outspoken characters, Ted Nugent and Sebastian Bach, are currently engaged in a war of words. The latest exchange is over the definition of the word “weak.”

The whole thing started on Thursday (Aug. 28), when, speaking to Radio.com, Nugent said the following about the former Skid Row singer. “Sebastian Bach is a great guy, I love the guy, incredibly gifted, a gentleman for the most part, but he’s weak. He’s weak. And he doesn’t understand the concept of the [body as a] Sacred Temple. He doesn’t understand accountability. He doesn’t understand – clearly – how his indulgences and his poisons ruin his life. And his relationships, and his marriage. And his musical capabilities. I love the guy and if he’s watching this, I love you, but when you’re the drunk Sebastian Bach, you’re nowhere near the Sebastian Bach that you are when you’re clean and sober. Case closed.”

On Saturday, in response, Bach tweeted, “Being a racist is f—ing weak.” This would seem to be a reference to the firestorm Nugent began earlier this year by referring to President Obama as a “subhuman mongrel,” a comment for which he later apologized.

Bach and Nugent appeared together on the 2006 VH1 reality show, ‘Supergroup.’ One episode focused heavily on whether or not Bach was drinking too much. Nugent, for his part, has long denied he is a racist, citing the many African American musicians who have influenced him throughout his career.

I watched Supergroup, there were some awkward moments even then, mostly because of Bas. Evan Seinfeld just about killed him in one episode.

The issue here is, two guys with big mouths, and that's about it.

I think they've both said some dumb stuff. But Sebastian is merely someone I disagree with, whereas Nugent is a certifiable lunatic. So I don't know how weak or strong Sebastian is personally but I'm going to have to side with him on this.

Nugent, for his part, has long denied he is a racist,

I'm not saying he is or isn't, but the way the writer worded this is hilarious. It's very, very rare that any public figure admits to being a racist. You have people in white hoods saying things like "I'm not a racist, but black people are born bad." Ted denies being a racist? No freakin' duh. I guess we should take his word for it, eh? How does he stand to benefit from lying? Other than saving his entire career.

Ted Nugent is a dick head! It's like he goes out of his way to piss off everybody!

^ That's because nobody is listening to his music any more. He's no longer relevant outside of classic rock radio.

I mean, he made some great music back in the day.

Nugent is a singer and guitarist that was in two good bands. Bach is poseur extraordinaire.

Hmmmm, tough choice....

Sometimes.There isn't a lot of new good rock music out there by anybody

Except for surprisingly good retro-sounding new bands like The Sword or Orchid.

Few classic bands put out anything good when they do create new music. The Scorpions are one of the exceptions, Sting In The Tail was amazing.

Sonic Boom from KISS was really good. Nothing new I've tried to listen to from Ted really did anything for me. He still knows how to put on a good show though.
